LCMS Academic Team

The LCMS Academic Team has started practices for the year. There are

approximately 30 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who are currently participating in the

Academic Team. TNT 8th Grade Math teacher, Doris Jean Holleran, is the coach of

the Academic Team.

LCMS participates in the Heartland League with seven other area schools. League

competitions are Saturday, October 16th at West Hardin Middle School and

Saturday, November 20th at East Hardin Middle School.

A smaller group of Quick Recall students will compete in the Knowledge Masters

competition at the HCEC‐TV station in Elizabethtown on November 18th. The

match will be taped and televised a couple of weeks later on the HCEC‐TV station.

District Governor’s Cup Competition will be held on Saturday, January 22nd and

Regional Governor’s Cup will be held on Saturday, February 5th. In addition to

Quick Recall, students can take Assessment Tests in Language Arts, Social Studies,

Science, Math or Arts & Humanities.

We will also have a Future Problem Solving Team (FPS) and students who

compete in English Composition (On Demand writing).

Ms. Holleran would especially like to have more 6th graders join the Academic

Team. There will be a Sixth Grade Showcase Competition for 6th graders on

Saturday, December 4th. Some practices for 6th graders only will be scheduled

during October and November. Dates will be announced soon.

If you are interested in being on the Academic Team, contact Ms. Holleran by

email.

Free College Credit!

A partnership between LaRue County Adult and Family Education and Elizabethtown Community and

Technical College to offer free college classes is available at the LaRue County Learning Center.

Currently, you may obtain credit for Developmental Math 055 and/or 065 by attending classes at LaRue

County Adult and Family Education and passing an exit exam. Once you enroll at ECTC and take at least

one class, the free classes offered through Adult Education will appear on your transcript. Phone Sarah

Hornback at the Learning Center for more information at 358‐8334.

LaRue County Reads

Being a volunteer tutor with LaRue County Reads is a great way to impact the future. Reading is the

cornerstone of academic success; volunteers and sponsoring employers are helping build strong

readers. For as little as 30 minutes a week, you can make a real difference in the life of a child both now

and in the future. For more information about the next tutor training contact Sarah Hornback at 358‐

8334.

Kelly Dean Sanders Memorial Fund

The Kelly Dean Sanders Memorial Fund was established to give assistance to the indigent children of

LaRue County and is entirely supported by the generosity of LaRue Countians. While some limited

medical and dental services are provided, the vast majority of the fund is used to purchase clothing for

needy children in the form of $30 vouchers that can be spent at three LaRue County businesses: Dollar

General, Family Dollar, and Pamida. Contributions come from civic clubs, religious groups, businesses,

individuals, Memorial gifts, bequests in wills, and an annual fund drive at each LaRue County school.

Collected from LaRue Countians, for the benefit of LaRue children, and spent at LaRue County

businesses, donations to the Kelly Dean Sanders Memorial Fund truly show neighbors helping neighbors.

All deductions are tax deductible and there are no administrative costs deducted from the fund.

LaRue County Community Early Childhood Council

The mission of the LaRue County Community Early Childhood Council is to maximize resources and

encourage collaboration to improve early childhood education in LaRue County. Whether a child is

being cared for at home, in a center, or in an early childhood program, the Council is dedicated to

helping LaRue County’s children through training, materials, advocacy and collaboration. The Council is

sponsoring an inexpensive ($10) six‐hour training on October 16 on lesson planning and

developmentally appropriate practice at the LaRue County Extension Office. Parents are welcome to

attend. Call Sarah Hornback at 358‐8334 for more information.
